Foolsball

Well, Lucy snatched the ball yesterday and erstwhile gardeners on the NCR wound up on their backs again.  It was 24 degrees with a dusting of snow this morning.  Happy spring!  Of course we should be back on track by the weekend with temps in the 50s, but it is a little disheartening to see the white stuff in April.  I did get the tomato and eggplant seeds in last night, so take that old man winter.  Meanwhile, the veg markets continue their late winter swoon with soft markets on most items.  The California shippers continue to freak out with little encouragement.  With many eastern growing areas experiencing lower than normal temps, it would seem there is little competition on the horizon, but that has never stopped western grower panic attacks in the past.
